Mouse pointer is off.

[lucmp]

I have been rebuilding a new Linux installation. Began to use lin-vst on it today. I was using wine-staging 5.12, now I'm using wine-staging 9.22.

The mouse pointer is off. First I tried to add a Windows plugin to qtractor and couldn't click and move/tweak anything on the plugin's GUI. Then I tried Waveform and noticed the same problem. It took me a while to realize that the mouse pointer still works, but it's sending the point-and-click commands to a spot about two inches higher and two inches to the left.

I tried loading the .dll directly on a Windows program and the mouse action was correct. It's also correct if I load the plugin with testvst32.exe.

I am using LinVst-4.9. The LinVst-4.9-wine-9.5-9.6-fix version doesn't work at all, the DAW says the plugin can't be found.

Thank you for your attention.

Maybe I should point out that at first I installed Wine stable 9.0 and there was no problem with lin-vst, but multiple plugins and applications didn't work until I replaced it with Wine staging 9.22. Now they work, but lin-vst has the mouse problem.

I can replicate the mouse issue and it goes away when reverting to the previous Wine version installed (9.22 to 9.0)

I've put up a possible test fix for wine 9.22 and wine 10 in the Releases section.

I've put up a possible test fix for wine 9.22 and wine 10 in the Releases section.

Unfortunately, it seems like I can still reproduce this issue with wine 9.22 using the LinVst-4.9-wine-9.22-wine-10-fix2.zip in the Releases tab.

Try installing it again, I've updated the wine 9.22 release in the Releases section.

Make sure that lin-vst-server.exe and lin-vst-server.exe.so and lin-vst-server32.exe and lin-vst-server32.exe are actually copied to the /usr/bin directory (using sudo).

Choose Update All Plugins (Upgrade All Plugins) when using linvstconvert.

Unfortunately, I'm still seeing the same issue with fix3. I fully reinstalled LinVST and all of my plugins as an extra measure to ensure nothing from the previous version was lingering, but it doesn't seem to make a difference.

You probably need to manually delete the lin-vst-server.exe and lin-vst-server.exe.so and lin-vst-server32.exe and lin-vst-server32.exe.so files in /usr/bin and check that they have been deleted (ls /usr/bin/lin-v*).

Then install the new LinVst-wine-9.22-wine10 lin-vst-server.exe and lin-vst-server.exe.so and lin-vst-server32.exe and lin-vst-server32.exe.so files into /usr/bin.

So far I've tested the LinVst-wine-9.22-wine10 version using EndeavourOS (Arch), MX Linux, and Ubuntu and wine 9, wine 9.22 and wine 10 rc2 and rc3 and it seems to work ok.

You're right, fix3 does work. I can confirm my plugins work as expected when I load them through testvst.exe. The actual issue I'm facing seems to be a problem with my DAW itself, where the mouse cursor disappears and I can no longer interact with the plugin window. I'm unsure if it's related to LinVST or not, but if it's working through testvst.exe I would guess not. Sorry about that!

Not related to linvst / qtractor, but just to add to the original issue, I am experiencing the exact same problem with yabridge and ardour 8.11. I recently updated one of my VST plugins (Addictive Drums) and while I can use it completely fine as a standalone program or VST via fsthost-1.6.3, I can't get it to work properly any longer in ardour, observing the same weird out-of-focus mouse and unresponsive GUI buttons. I tried different wine versions (10.x) and 9.22 staging is the one where I landed (tried 10.2, nothing would work at all overall, and 10.1 was no different from 9.22). A real shame as I have many ardour sessions using this VST. Not sure what changed but I might see if older wine staging can make a diff. I have another PC in my rehearsal room with a working combo I had not touched for a while so I might as well revert to that.

UPDATE: well, just looked up with yabridge and indeed: robbert-vdh/yabridge#382
Reverting back to wine staging 9.21 makes things run smooth again. Not ideal in the long run but hopefully, the wine folks will have fixed this mess.

A fix is coming shortly for yabridge, robbert-vdh/yabridge#405
